Title: Very silly question... please don't laugh ...
Post by: Amon_Re on April 21, 2003, 02:26:24 pm
I'm having a problem naming my wings....

You have the good guys (the player's camp) with Alpha & Beta, but what comes after Beta?

Then you have the Vasudans, these wings were named... how?

And then the Shivans, with Sagitarius etc, but since my native language isn't English i can't remember all the starsigns in english, someone care to list them for me?

I know these are probably the most idiotic questions ever asked here, but hey, someone had to ask them :)

Cheers,

Vasudans in FS1 had the constellation names but in FS2 they have greek letters just like Terrans (NTF, shivans and bad guys in general use the constellation names instead now).

The FS1 naming was cool.

Terrans use the Greek alphabet: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon.
Vasudans use the signs of the Zodiac: Pisces, Cancer, Aries, Taurus, Gemini.
Shivans use Hindi mythology: Arjuna, Vishnu, Krishna, Bheema, Kali.
Rebel Terrans use Norse mythology: Scald, Bragi, Hrid, Geri, Buri.

If you can't remember the whole list, use Google Sets. (http://labs.google.com/sets) Plug in 3 or 4 names, and let it find the rest for you.

DG and Amen-Re. You`d both benefit from having a look in my FAQ's FRED section and getting the Freespace 2 Reference guide. :)

Ah. Bugger it. It's quicker to give the link than to type all that! :D
